Excuse me if this is a Google issue not xenforo and if so please move
I am getting a nag from Google Search Console about a so-called duplicate page
NB: I have my own prefix filter menu block on those pages, but I think that is not relevant as it is the exact same links as in the xenForo prefix filter dropdown.
I find this error odd because:
Many thanks in advance for any kind and helpful responses
I am getting a nag from Google Search Console about a so-called duplicate page
Code:
Referring page: https://cafesaxophone.com/forums/saxophones-accessories-discussion.16/page-117?prefix_id=17
User-declared canonical: https://cafesaxophone.com/forums/saxophones-accessories-discussion.16/page-58
Google-selected canonical: https://cafesaxophone.com/forums/saxophones-accessories-discussion.16/page-59?prefix_id=17
NB: I have my own prefix filter menu block on those pages, but I think that is not relevant as it is the exact same links as in the xenForo prefix filter dropdown.
I find this error odd because:
- The referring page (page 117) does not exist as there are only 59 pages when filter with prefix id17. Oddly that referrer link actually redirects to page 59
- The user declared canonical when you filter and go to page 59 shows correctly as
<link rel="canonical" href="https://cafesaxophone.com/forums/saxophones-accessories-discussion.16/page-59" />
- The Google selected canonical is very weird as it is not only the wrong page, but includes the query string to the prefix which is never part pdf the canonical I believe
- The content is not duplicate anyway!
Many thanks in advance for any kind and helpful responses
